IN THE LANE.

And art thou then, my heart, too old.
Ever TO leap with love again,
To feel the strong blood-torrent rolled
Through the heaving breast and teeming
brain:
II is 10 more, my heart, for thee
LIES one unquestioncd ecstacy?
Are faded quite those dim, far days
When music smothered every sound,
When up and down yonth's happy ways
Fared clOries on eternal round:
Has chill Of years killed every joy
That blossomed for the wandering boy!
These arc the trees once known so well
We felt to them all but beknown.
Their very shadow we could tell
From others Ivy the forest thrown.
The same glad song from bush and bough-
As once We heard, we hear them now.
And these sweet flowers beneath my feet,
Their young eyes greet MS as OF yore,
The hope. there, Still they think to meet
Her glance that shall not answer more;
To Is alone it cannot be
They're looking up 50 tenlerly.
This is the same gray path we took
Behind the slowly going day;
As they do now, the light leaves shook
When evening brcczcs blew this way;
And there's ;ie glow upon the dome,
And here the COWS arc coming home.
All no, good heart, thou still canSt stir,
Still lives the love first bid the leap;
Still are We at the sile Of her
They laid away meath yondcr steep.
Though clods bc on her and stone,
In the dear old lane we're not alone.

The Master Blacksmith.
By JOHN y. DICKIE.

You would never have imagined it
from the turn of his lips. They were
very ordinary pair indeed when in re-
pose, which, to tell the exact truth, was
not often; but this morning they were
puckcrcd up in the most comical man
ner, wrinkling his ruddy cheeks and
giving his whole physiognomy distort-
cd and distressed appearance painful to
behold. But he was an excellent whist
Ter. OF that there was not the smallest
doubt. Clear, resonant, thrilling up and
down the may labyrintlls of two octaves
with never false note; his hands in his
pockets, his tattcred straw hat thrown
back on his curly head, his sturdy
feet, brown and bare, kicking lit
tie clouds of dust in the road which
wound along the base of stony hill
side almost at white heat beneath the
rays Of the MONDAY sun.
Suddenly the music ceased. Evi-
IDENTITY our musician had wllistled him
self out Of brown study into some sort
of decision, for he stopped, picked up
pebble, and tossed it over the fenco
with a jerk.
"Ycs, Ill do it. 1 don't like it, but
she'll never find it out. Tn pretty near

and hcavin' first one side and then

With quickencd footsteps he now
turned to the right and assembled the
hill, entering Il small cottage surround

beauty.
''Well, mothcr,"-to a slender pale

table-"Tve decided. It's all right.
Gadford's got me. Thought it all over,
just as you said. I'll begin with him
tomorrow if he says So"
'IOu'rc sure now, my son-very sure
it's your own will and choice!" replied
his mother, anxiously.
Dead sure" returned the lad, stoutly.
"Of course blacksmith's apprentice

The Irish Crimes bill being now a
law, unless all predictions fail, the
peasant poor Of Ireland are to be
plunged in deeper woe, the eyictors
are to take new turn of the screw.
and the troubled land is to be pinned
down with bayonets.
All this seems a good way not to
give peace to Ireland, and that is
clearly the Tory aim. They desire
to show that Ireland is unfit for
home rule, and this they hope to do
by making imperial rule even less
tolerable than it has been, and so
drive to madness the men and wo-
men who are already driven to des-
pair. 1t is sorry outlook for Ire
land, but Mr.. Gladstone has said
that the very infamy of the Crimes
act Will strengthen the Irish cause
and bring nearer the day OF deliver.

be made whittier than snow. Where
is the sinner Christ has condemned
unheard Sorrowful He was when
they refused His proffered grace, and
though they walked not with Him
He cast no stones after any man.
The END OF IT ALL will be death
and oblivion, as many have died be-
fore, and all travel to the same end,
after this world the judgment
The good seed sown and the bad
will bear fruit alike, figs from
thorns ard thistles from the cider
down, bnt each according to it's own.
Every good leaves some evil in its
train, and out of every evil may
come some good.
This sad and deprecatory conflict
may prove the beginning OF the end
of excommunication in this country.
There was a time when heavy pen
alties followed and there was pow
er to enforce them. But the spirit
ual alone now remains. The church
suits her course and weapons to the
spirit of the times and the tempera-
ment of the people; and in this age
when the people read, think and act
for themselves, the church can but
exercise her divine mission Of guild
ing and directing, and the conse.
quence of disobedience and rebel
lion rests upon those who willfully
take it upon them. Nor is violence
of soul or body Necessary to carry
out divine mission. Christ in His
ministry inflicted none /; He left it for
the day of wrath, that dreadful day,
and the church is Christ in time,
but he is Himself in eternity.
Heaven suffers violence, the violence
of pride, passion and prejudice, but
no violence Of conscience and who
is there can convict his own con-
science of sin, much less his broth
er's The soul may cry out / Will,
1 Will, but the perversion of man
and his propensity to evil echo |
WON'T echo it for time while the
cry reaches eternity !-Salue NOS,
Domino, perimas II believe ; help
Thou mine unbelief.

A colored Ajax in Clarke county,
Va, made an unsuccessful attempt
to defy the lightning. lie said he
was going to Cedar Bush; he did
not care if lightning did strike him.
but just as he reached the Bush he
stopped to cut shoestring with a
knife, and a bolt struck him dead.
Many Of his superstitious nelghbors
will believe this to be q display Of
divine wrath, but others will attri.
butte it to the attractive properties
of the colored mans clasp-knife.

A five-year old child of a man

tore it loose and shook the life out
Of it. The child was severely bitten,
and its recovery is considered 40

THAT ROAD LEADS TO?

The enemies OF Labor have been
busy for some time circulating re.
ports that the knights of Labor or

has brought General Master Work

mission that the Order is breaking
up" but not in the way its personal
and political enemies may desire.
His language is vigorous and his
arguments close to the point. He
tramps on the political toes of the
business and "spoils system" politi.
clans, who will report him to ecclesi-
astical headquarters for religious
censure. Breaking up traditions
and opposing the rights of wealth
and distinction will forfeit his claims
to responsibility. But breaking up
present land theories is fooling with

Except where possession has legaliz
ed robbery as in Ireland; and such
invasion Of the domain Of faith and
morals will land Master Powderly
in motherly lap, which he can only
leave as dutiful child or as spir.
itual orphan. He says:
We are breaking up as the
ploughman breaks up the soil for the
sowing of a new seed.
We are breaking up the old tradi

rights and planting every where the
seed of universal rights.

We are breaking up the idea that

to depreciate intelligent, skilled

We are breaking up the practice

Clayton to Alder Creek. The tram
was brought to a stop before the
Presidents party became aware that
there was any accident.
The Engineer had his hand on the
whistle to blow for still crossing
when the connecting bar to the for
ward driver on the right side broke.
The huge slice of steel revolved with
terrible velocity, tearing out one side
the cab and ripping up The ties and

huge fracture was made in the boiler
and the steam escaped in volumes.
The engineer was found dead, be-
side the cab. He had saved the fire,
